Daily Doodle Diary #9

Hi all, 

Here's another batch of Daily Doodles from my Diary!

This batch is patchy, as I kind of lost a lot of momentum in May, and dropped the ball as a result in June.
May has always been a tough month for me, as it's my birthday month, and my mother died in an accident a few days before my 9th birthday, so each May, when spring comes round and my birthda...

New Youtube Intro Gif!

[The image above is supposed to be a GIF. I have had problems in the past with GIFs only working on desktop, so I hope this one is working ok for everyone.]

Hi peeps, 

I thought I would share with you my completed Youtube intro GIF. 

I created it in Procreate, on my Ipad. 

It isn't quite as smooth as I would like it, but I...

Procreate Timelapse + Final Sketch (WIP)

Hi peeps, 

Thank you all so much for voting on your favourite hand pose in my previous WIP post of this piece!

This pose won, although the pose with both hands was a very close second. 



Once the poll was over, I started a new sketch, on a bigger piece o...

Daily Doodle Diary #8

Hi peeps, 

Here's the latest batch of Daily Doodles!

I am quite happy with how I've done so far in May. 

I was initially upset at myself for missing days 1 and 2, but I have been fairly consistent since, so that made up for it somewhat.
Oddly, although I've been struggling with pretty much everything else, I've found doing these doodles easier th...

Poll + Work in Progress (I need your input!)

Hi peeps, 

So I have started work on a big piece, and I thought you might enjoy seeing some of the work in progress bits I have gathered so far. 

I am also at the stage where I need to refine the pose and decide on the final composition, and I need your help with that! (See poll)

This big piece is going to be based on this sketch :

May Rundown + and what I'm liking right now

Hi. 

I have plans for May and I thought you might be interested in them, so here they are. 

:)

Ok, maybe "plans" is a big word.
I have intentions. Yeah. 

Also, I thought I'd do the thing where I share some of the things I'm enjoying right now?

But first, art.

Sketchbook PDF - May 2020

Hi everyone, 

Here's your sketchbook PDF for May!

This one might be a little weird, and is very messy.
Some of the pages in this PDF might look like utter nonsense to you when you browse through them, and I pondered whether or not I should include those messy doodles in the file. In the end, I decided to put them in, as they were an importa...

Daily Doodle Diary #7

Hey peeps, 

Here's another installment of my Doodle Diary!

This batch was another tough one, I still haven't quite managed to do those doodles early in the day instead of last minute before bed. Here's to May going better hopefully, haha.

Daily Doodle Diary #6

Hey everyone, 

Here are my Doodle Diary pages up to last week-end!

I'll be honest, April hasn't been great Doodle-wise. I have been leaving the drawing until the last minute, sometimes forgetting it altogether.
It's not all that surprising, and to be honest, I was expecting myself to start doing that a lot sooner in the year.
I need to focus more on creat...

Sketchbook PDF - April 2020

Hey peeps, 

Here's the Sketchbook PDF for April!

This one includes drawings up to the last few days, as I finished the sketchbook and thought it would be nicer to include all of it in the PDF (I usually only include drawings I did the previous month). 

I love this sketchbook, it's all sorts of messy and experimental and I'm really happy with the path...

Hi everyone, 

Here's the finished version of the second painting I created for the "Fiends of the Dark" show, "PARASITE".

Daily Doodle Diary #5

Hi peeps, 

Here's anther installment of my Daily Doodle Diary :)

I managed to only miss 2 days for this batch!

16 and 17 were anxiety filled days during which I only just managed to force myself to sketch in the diary, as is probably apparent in the slightly starker and darker style. 

I was happier with yesterday's and today's. I took it more s...
